100% correct. It's about making quick money and not risking a lot more money to make more expensive quality TV.

Sadly the rise of "reality TV" has ruined many channels. Stick a mic and camera in front of some unknown idiots and roll.....and there is a market for it, low cost filler. Hot dogs vs steak.

A few might be OK, most stink.
